Oatmeal

jamiesadler

I put peanut butter in mine. I prefer the 7 gain hot cereal over oatmeal, less calories and its yummier.

Currently I have 1tsp of chocolate or caramel sauce left over from pancake day Very yummy & gives a nice sugar fix.

i cant handle plain oatmeal, so im always adding stuff to it lol
umm my most recent love is cocoa powder, a packet or two of stevia, and some shredded cococnut. tastes like a no bake cookie
i also like putting different flavored protein powders in..
craisins or raisins with cinnamon sugar.

MMMmmmmm... that sounds really good! How much cocoa powder did you put in?

Also, I love putting in a little brown sugar with a few chocolate chips...... YUM :bigsmile:

I take some dried cranberries or blueberries and smash up some almonds into bits and stir it in. If you want a change...the steel cut grains are also very good.

I use a tsp, of imitation vanilla extract, 1 packet of stevia, and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. Tastes great!

For 1c of cooked oatmeal, I always chop up an entire pink lady or granny smith apple! (Yes, it's a lot of apple) Then I add 1/8c of raisins, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and either stevia or raw honey! It's delicious

^^^ This.

Add a couple tablespoons of walnuts if you have the fat allowance available and enjoy nuts.

I mix mine with protein powder and natural peanut butter then add a little almond milk.. You can also mix the oatmeal with eggwhites add (flax, protein powder, berries) whatever your preference and make a pancake. Its super yummy.

douglasmobbs

almond milk or hazelnut milk are great options if you want to drop the calories and usually use semi skimmed milk.

Tesco have a new free from range that includes coconut and chocolate flavored milk alternative that is the same calories as semi skimmed milk.

MissyLibra

I put a pinch of cinnamon, half of cup of strawberry, half of cup of apples, and sometimes I add some raisins. Delicious.

Applesauce and Cinnamon, so yummy!

1/4 cup of Fage Non-Fat Greek Yogurt w/ 1 TBSP of Applebutter & splenda to taste....mixed into Oatmeal w/cinnamon & vanilla extract. Topped with 1 TBSP Golden Roasted Whole Flaxseeds. Yummy! Look forward to this every morning.

Other varieties that others have mentioned too...

I've been eating mine with a scoop of chocolate protein powder and natural peanut butter - delicious and it keeps me full until lunch.

Warm oatmeal porridge, low-fat milk and bananas or blueberries is so yum!!

I add usually 1/3 cup greek yogurt plain or vanilla, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, and 1/4 cup fresh berries (either whatever's on sale, or whatever was on sale that I stocked up on and froze)

Susiemccormick

may sound gross, but I put a little of my sugar free liquid vanilla creamer in! Yum!!

MercenaryNoetic26

Ahhh good ol' fashioned oatmeal is the BEST!!! Not like those packets that contains all sortsa other questionable ingredients such as a *kitten* load of sugar.

Frozen blueberries or any berries are the best to dump in the oatmeal. If you still need something sweet try agave syrup. I like the cinnamon suggested previously, too.

jumpin15

Great, I think I'll try some of these suggestions. Thanks !

RedRunner82

I use Bob's Red Mill quick-cooking oats - half a cup of that, with three-quarters of a cup of unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze, plus a Splenda packet, some frozen mixed berries, and slivered almonds. Sometimes if I'm feeling sassy, I add half a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Mmm!

Crimson21

bump!!!

ilookthetype

yoghurt, fruit, nut butter, whatever. I add anything I want to my oatmeal. Although, I once used hot apple cider instead of water and my mouth threw a little party.

paleojamie

You CANNOT beat putting chopped banana in oats .. WOW!!

967_1111

I chop up an apple and soften it a little with a short hit in the microwave, and then a little bit of brown sugar for flavour. So good, and you get a serving of fruit with your whole grains!

LOVE Oatmeal!

Here are some variations that I do (I mix with water since I don't like milk):

Oats cooked with canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. After heated, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.

Oats cooked with cocoa powder and PB2 and ground cinnamon with 1/2 of a banana.

There are a bunch of other combos too, but these are the 2 that I can think of at the moment.

dpwellman

Apples, pecans, and pumpkin pie spice, pinch o salt.

Two favorites - craisins and brown sugar or cinnamon and brown sugar

Lately I've been doing plain oatmeal with a serving of homemade slowcooker apple-pear butter (from Martha Stewart's web page). Delicious.

Elizabeth_M

1/3 cup pure pumpkin + pumpkin pie spices. Delish! For a treat I sometimes add pecans in.

--OR--

1/2 banana + 1 tbsp coconut + cinnamon = tropical heaven!

I usually add chia seeds to both dishes and sweetener/stevia.

I have also tried a caramel stevia, that is so yummy!

emeraldowl

some pumpkin puree and cinnamon is yummy
